October 14 SAT 'Qi Fu' Thread!

oasis · October 8, 2006, 12:02pm

It is a longstanding tradition in China and Taiwan to seek the success before a major examination by going to a temple and writing your expectations for the examination down on a slip of paper and dropping it into a wooden box, which will be held in front of the temple (usually Confucian, since Confucius symbolizes wisdom and intellectuality in Chinese culture) for the entire week before the examination until after the examination is over. This ceremony is called ‘qi fu’ in Chinese and is conducted widely at Confucian temples right before college and high school entrance exams in Chinese societies. Supposably, students who go through this ceremony will be granted good luck in the coming examination. Although most people do not ‘believe’ this anymore, people still do it out of a regard for tradition.

I am a Christian, but I think there’s no harm in seeking a better score! So write down your expectations for the Oct SAT here: (since it’s one week before the SAT; I hope we all get better scores!)

I’ll start:

You should all put your previous scores and then what you expect to get. Or does that go against the whole Qi Fu thing?

oasis · October 8, 2006, 12:47pm

You could, but I don’t think anyone ever does that, they just put what they wish…but I don’t see how it would violate it though.
